My view is that this is the tip of the iceberg in Iran. The ruling Mullahs have had an increasing problem with controlling the youth in the country. They grew up in this Shi'a theocracy, and see that the grass is greener throughout much of the rest of the world. The justification for the theocracy, the late Shah, was deposed and dead before many of them were born.

Ahmadinejad has made things worse for them on a number of fronts, including this one. Not only has he effectively destroyed their economy, he has also made them a pariah of the rest of the world through his nuclear militarism.

Compounding this is the problem that Iraq, next door, is a functioning (better than Iran) Shi'a dominated democracy without having the Shiite clergy actively running the country. Instead, many Iraqis (and now Iranians) are led by Iranian born Grand Ayatollah Sistani, who essentially preaches secular democratically elected government.

Of course, the Iranian youths need to be careful of how they protest. Ahmadinejad and the rulling Mullahs have been brutal shutting down dissent. But this protest doesn't attack the mullahs directly, and so is much safer.

I recommend that to make housing affordable, Ahmadinejad start two government-owned corporations, Fatemeh Mana, and Farrokh Majid, to make low cost loans to low wage earners. There's no way that could lead to trouble.

As long as Iran ALSO makes sure those lenders using Fatemah & Farrokh guarantees can't discriminate economically - i.e, banks HAVE to lend to minorities whether their credit qualifies them or not. That's the only way to achieve unprecedented levels of home ownership, which is always good, right?
